  8. Somewhat related personal experience, I suppose.

    I'm the exact opposite of a "damn furrners need to learn English" guy. However, I did have an interesting encounter last week ordering a sandwich in Subway.

    Ordered a tuna sub and as we reached the condiment section, I asked for tomato, onion and green pepper. The sandwich artist, a native Spanish speaker, kept reaching for the mayonnaise. I kept repeating what I wanted, "tomato, onion and green pepper". Finally, after she blankly looked at me while reaching for the tube of mayo, I said again, "tomato" and pointed toward the red fruit.

    She got very agitated and in broken English began yelling that I had asked for "mayo". I was taken aback. Honestly. She just kept yelling and people were beginning to stare. I had no idea how to react to someone who spoke poor English screaming at me about a sandwich order. I had no response. Any advice on how I should have handled that one?
